I am just looking for someone to confirm my answers to these questions:
1. Assume that the economy is in long-run equilibrium, then the price of fuel decreases. What happens to GDP, price level, and unemployment?
I got the price will decrease, unemployment will decrease, and gdp will increase
2. Asumme that the economy is in long-run equilibrium, then the DOW jones stock market increases. What happens to GDP, price level, and unemployment?
Since its a shift in AD its basically the opposite...I got GDP will increase, Price level will increase, and unemployment will decrease.
3. Which type of unemployment do the situations exemplify?
A. Import competition causes Bob to get laid off. (Structural)
B. Elizabeth graduates from college but has not found a job at the current time. (Frictional)
Thank you guys!
